Mon × ma
Pourquoi disons-nous mon quand nous devrions utiliser ma? Par exemple, "mon amie". Il ne devait pas être ma amie, comme il est féminin?

because "amie" starts with a vowel. Saying "ma amie" requires a glottal stop, where you close your throat between 2 vowels. French people don't like using glottal stops, so they say 'mon'.
